Description

The Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) invests in programs offering the potential for revolutionary changes in technologies that promote homeland security and accelerate the prototyping and deployment of technologies that reduce homeland vulnerabilities. HSARPA is the external funding arm for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate. HSARPA performs these functions, in part, by awarding procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions for research or prototypes to public or private entities, businesses, federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs), government laboratories and academic institutions. The goal of the HSARPA Low Vapor Pressure Chemicals Detection Systems (LVPCDS) Program is to develop, field-test, and transition to commercialization existing, state-of-the-art and next generation systems that can detect toxic compounds having low vapor pressures (≤ 10-4 Torr) without coming in contact with the contaminated surface. The DHS S&T Directorate has identified two high priority requirements as Technical Topic Areas (TTAs) to be addressed in this solicitation (These TTAs are described in greater detail in Section 4, ?LVPCDS Program Goals?). The LVPCDS Program will facilitate a number of DHS goals, including:  Enabling novel and cost effective enhancements to existing detection systems for rapid deployment;  Development of next generation detection systems providing superior performance, ease of operation, and cost; and  Development of revolutionary technologies, subsystems or components with significant impact on cost and/or performance of existing or next generation detection systems.
